Reports emerged before the holidays that the Milwaukee Brewers had agreed to a one-year deal with Cory Spangenberg following his non-tender from San Diego. Now that we are through that season and into the new year, Spangenberg has had the opportunity to complete and pass his physical exam, and earlier today the club officially announced the signing.

Though Spangenberg does give the club another internal option at second base, comments from David Stearns via the Journal Sentinel indicate that the signing is due in part to a bit of dreaming on the player’s upside.
